[In the wake of the Valentine's Day experiment, Zoniha posts this proposal (not that kind!) to the journal network. The video feed shows her leaning back in a deep red armchair, with her legs crossed and a smirk on her face. She gestures dramatically as she talks.]

I imagine that many of you poor darlings are probably quite discombobulated after the events of last week, yes? [She isn't; she was unaffected for the entire thing, and thus utterly entertained by the romantic shenanigans. If...also kind of wishing she'd had her own special someone to spend the week with.] Not to worry -- this Zoniha will come to your rescue! I'm hereby making myself available for any sort of love-related counseling that you might need, and fortunately for everyone here I won't even charge! [Not that she can, considering this is Luceti.]

Whether you're interested in pursuing someone you fell in love with during last week or trying to make up to your old flame for something questionable you did with someone else, you can be sure I'll have some words of wisdom for you! Or...perhaps you missed out on the party, but would still like to find your very own lovebunny? In that case, this Zoniha is also offering a top-notch matchmaking service, backed by years and years of experience! [Of matching herself. With others. And never finding anyone. IT'S STILL EXPERIENCE WITH MATCHMAKING, OKAY OKAY.] Whatever your poison, you can talk with me over the journals, or you can simply make an appointment for an in-person consultation here at my lovely apartment. [She gestures at her ~~lair~~ place, which is actually quite nicely furnished in shades of pink, pale yellow, and red.] You won't get anything but the best of service from me, I can assure you! Ahahahahahaha!

[Then she hums thoughtfully.]

But color me curious...this sort of experiment happens every year, doesn't it? So tell me -- have any successful relationships ever come out of it? Surely at least one must have.

[Zoniha will hang around in her apartment to answer any replies, but later on she'll go out to get something to eat at Seventh Heaven before hitting up the stores for clothes and accessories. Sure, her closets and drawers are already full, but everything is free here. How could she pass that up?]

{Oh, aren't you a darling! So cute and innocent ~~and therefore eminently corruptible~~.]

So last week was your introduction to love, was it? [A laugh.] What did you think of it?

[~~Never underestimate teenage density, Zoniha.~~

It... wasn't quite what I was expecting. Because I really didn't know what to expect. But, it was good. The girl I fell for was... really nice.

[And really pretty, if you asked him.]

[~~Curse you, teenage density! Her immortal enemy.~~]

Oh, was she? That's good -- I'd hate to think of a darling like you ensnared in the clutches of some brazen hussy. [You know, someone like her.] And now you're confused about whether you're actually interested in her, or if it's just leftovers from the experiment, yes?

A...Am I really that obvious?

[He blushes a bit, obviously flustered.]

Ahahahahaha! Honey, you're as obvious as I am pretty! And you've probably noticed already that I am quite pretty. [Erm. For certain standards of it.] But it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's quite expected, in fact! It's hard enough recovering from an actual relationship, so something like this must be rather overwhelming, especially to someone like you.

Now, let's see...did you know this person before the experiment?

[...Well, there are different universes here, in her world she's probably very pretty? Mega Man won't call attention to it though.]

...No, and that's why I'm really confused about it.

Hmmm...I see. Well, then, this Zoniha's advice to you would be to wait a week or two, and see if you're still interested in her. And if you are, then great! Ask her out for a date and see if she bites. [Totes simple, nothing to it.]

...It's really that simple? I mean... I didn't expect it to be that way. Though it... feels kind of weird to want to ask that at all, considering how we met. I mean, won't that make me look crazy for liking what they did to us?

Oh, I don't think so! Even the littlest gesture can spark love in one's heart, so something as grand as last week's experiment would be the equivalent of using a lighter to fire up your feelings, as opposed to rubbing sticks together. [She waves a hand dismissively.] Besides, you're just asking for a date, not a relationship. If it doesn't work out, no harm done! You're just trying to see if there's a spark between you two, without something like the experiment meddling in your affairs.

I guess so. Didn't really think about it that way...

Ahahahahaha! Of course you didn't! That's why you came to this Zoniha for help, right? [She leans forward with a smile.] And of course if things do work out between you two, I'll be more than happy to lend an ear for any other questions you might have about the wonderful world of love!

Did you do this stuff often back on your world?

[...Because oddly a lot of this makes sense.]

But thank you, Zoniha. My name's Mega Man. ...Though I guess you can call me Rock, if you prefer.

Often enough to have learned a thing or three over the years! [She tilts her head curiously.] "Rock", hmm? Quite an interesting name. Is that your real name or a nickname?
